When it comes to dumpsters and bins, we all tend to think of the ones we see near stores for commercial waste. If you live in a condo or apartment complex, you may likely think of the bins for residential waste.
However, when it comes to renting dumpsters to remove waste from estate clean outs or renovations, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution. There are different sizes and types available, depending on your needs and the situation.
Size really does matter when it comes to renting a dumpster for your particular project. The bins will range from 4 yards to 40 yards and can come as a roll-off or hook-lift dumpster type.
A roll-off dumpster is small enough to easily be removed from the back of the truck, so placement is easier. Also, it is a great solution for placement in small areas such as driveways.
Hook-lift bins are lifted on and off the truck via a lift that attaches to the bin with chains. These are typically on the larger side and are great for construction sites and bigger projects.
This requirement will be discussed at the time of booking as the customer service team will be able to advise you on the best solution for your location.
The following is a rough guide on what you can expect from the more commonly booked dumpster sizes. This is not an all-inclusive list and other sizes are available. Your Toronto junk bin rental customer team can make further recommendations.
While 4-yard bins do not sound very big and can be considered a mini bin, they are in fact 10 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 2 feet high, making them perfect for small spaces such as driveways.
These bins are ideal for people doing landscaping renovations or for a handyman carrying out small renovations that do not generate a lot of debris.
Next up we have the 10-yard bin. Coming in at 10 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 4 feet high, this is a little bigger than the 4-yard bin, but it is just as mighty.
These bins are perfect for larger projects such as bathroom or kitchen renovations and even roofing projects, as they can handle up to 140 bundles of shingles. There is more than meets the eye with these bins.
They are also great for small places such as driveways. As they are delivered by a small truck, there is little disruption to your neighbourhood with their arrival and departure.
For the larger projects, there is the 14-yard bin. When filled to their maximum, these 12-foot-long, 8-foot-wide, and 4-foot-high bins can hold an amount similar to half of a full single-car garage (minus the car) or about 180 bundles of shingles.
This bin type is great for clean fill, brick, or concrete, and can handle a load of up to 1.5 tonnes.
While the above-mentioned bins are the most common for the average household needs, there are also other sizes available, so your project and location can be successfully catered to.
For example, roll-off bins range from 4 yards to 40 yards, while hook-lift bins range from 4 yards to 20 yards.
Clean fill is highly recommended in all bin types. Separating material, like dirt, brick, concrete, or asphalt, is required. Should it all get mixed in, then you can find yourself paying additional mix load fees.
Do not place hazardous materials in the bins, or you could face fines from the government and the rental company. All hazardous materials require a different disposal method; if in doubt, the rental company can advise you.
While every effort is made to keep to your budget, and your Toronto junk bin rental team will provide the best recommendations, there are additional fees that need to be taken into consideration.
For instance, the duration of the rental, the weight at the pick-up time, and the distance travelled can all add up. Therefore, make sure to provide the team with as much information as possible when booking so that the fees can be discussed clearly without any surprises when the final invoice is generated.
